--- PAID invoices are sent out after processing, for both alternative payments and credit card charges.



--- Payments for SHIPPING will be charged SEPARATELY



--- Timing of Shipping charges: Typically the next Tuesday/Wednesday following the close of the auction



--- Do NOT send alternative payments after 10AM unless you are a confirmed Permanent Venmo or PayPal Buyer. If payment is sent after the deadline, it may not be seen in time, resulting in a double charge.







13. WHY YOU MAY NOT SEE AN IMMEDIATE CHARGE AFTER 10AM



---We understand it can be confusing when the 10AM payment deadline passes, but you don�t immediately see a charge on your card. Here�s why:



---Processing payments is a multi-step process that includes

(1) Documenting all cash requests

(2) Verifying alternative payments (and confirming correct amounts were sent)

(3) Updating our system to reflect payments received or pending cash payments



--- Important: Once we hit PROCESS, the system takes over, and charges cannot be stopped. There may be a delay between when we process payments and when the charge appears on your account.



--- Do NOT send alternative payments after 10AM unless you have a Permanent Payment Preference on file.



--- If you submit an alternative payment after 10AM and do not have a Permanent Venmo or PayPal Payment Preference on file, we won�t see it in time�which may result in a double charge.



--- Do not send alternative payments after 10AM unless you are a confirmed Permanent Venmo or PayPal Buyer.













14. JEWELRY TERMS



---Unless noted as appraised, diamond and gemstone carat weights are approximate or based on receipts/tags/markings.



---Unless jewelry is specifically listed as tested, it has not been tested.



---Previewing is strongly recommended to form your own independent opinion.



---Markings on jewelry do not guarantee authenticity. It is the bidder�s responsibility to determine authenticity before purchasing.









15. SMS TERMS AND CONDITIONS



---Opting into text messages (SMS/MMS) allows us to send auction reminders, responses to inquiries, appointment confirmations, and other notifications.



---You will receive no more than 10 texts per month.

16. NEW IN BOX ITEMS



---Items listed as �new in box� or �factory sealed� will not be tested prior to auction in order to preserve original packaging, manufacturer seals, and product integrity for the winning bidder.



---However, we do perform a visual verification to ensure that the item inside matches the listing and is not visibly incorrect or tampered with.



---By bidding, you acknowledge that unopened items are sold as-is based on the provided descriptions and photos. Please review all available information carefully before placing a bid.









17. INSPECTION REQUIREMENT FOR STORE CREDIT ELIGIBILITY



---Warehouse Pickups: All items must be inspected prior to leaving the warehouse. Once an item has left our premises, it will not be accepted for return, as damage can occur after pickup.



---Shipped Items: Covered under our separate shipping insurance policy.



---Deliveries: Items must be inspected prior to our team leaving the item with you.



---No Late Returns: Returns at a later time will not be eligible for store credit.











18. 5% CC Processing Fee is Nonrefundable



---Please note that the 5% credit card processing fee will never be refunded or calculated in the store credit amount, as this fee is charged to us by the processor at the time of payment, and the fee we charge simply covers that cost. To avoid the processing fee altogether, you are welcome to use one of our alternative payment methods: Cash, Venmo, or PayPal.









19. WOW Cart: All WOW cart listings include only the items placed on the cart. The cart is not included and is for display purposes only, unless explicitly stated in the lot description.
